Technical The definitive bobbed rear fender post

I've searched. I've saved photos. I think I've read every hamb post regarding this. I'm still looking for more pix and/or information.

Please post before, after, and in progress photos of how you bobbed your rear fenders. On any skinny fendered (pre-fat-fendered) car.

On a couple of threads there have been inquiries recently. Some by me. My specific case happens to be a 31 A two-door sedan with a 32 gas tank hanging from rear 32 frame horns on an otherwise A frame. Note: had I started this car from an unmolested car I probably would not have used the 32 gas tank/frame horns. However, My best friend left the project car to me when he died. There's no way I'll change that out. I do, however, think I'd like to shorten the rear fenders some. I don't think he'd mind that change.

I know that lake_harley and Adam D are looking for this information also.

Thanx in advance.

This tells me that a lot of folks out there want to see this also but not many folks have performed it; or at least didn't document their progress.

I'm hoping that bringing this back to the first page (from the 8th) will catch the eye of someone who can post up his/her technical expertise.

Also note that we all know you can just hack up a fender with a sawzall and weld it back together, but I'd like to see the finer points. Exactly where you cut yours. Did you cut a straight line all the way across or for some reason make some other cut. Or anything else we might want to see.

 

This could be a good thread. Model As without rear bumpers really need the rear fenders bobbed, at least a few inches. I'd like to see a How-To on both steel and F-glas fenders. I wanted to bob the rears on my '31 sedan but I found an apron that bolted to the bottom of the body and filled the span between the fenders so I went with that.
Here's a pair of old bobbed fenders that I was going to use on a '29 roadster pickup but didn't.

 

I had this picture saved in my files. Nice looking coupe with what look like trimmed rear fenders. And a rear shot of my sedan showing the apron that I used instead of bobbed rear fenders.
